![]() ![]() Early the next morning we get one last look at 3:24am where you can see that the fire is no longer showing hot spots on the south end and the north end has cooled as indicated by the smaller symbols.īy the time of the next satellite pass no hot spots remain that can be detected by this sensor. At this point 4 hours after ignition, the fire is burning in Phoenix nearly 9 miles to the northwest of the origin. The next look at the fire was at 3:06 pm. ![]() From the map below we can see that in a little over 2 hours the fire spread over five miles downwind to the south end of Talent. The first VIIRS pass over the fire was at 1:24 pm local time. The fire started a little after 11:00am on Tuesday Septemand hot, dry winds immediately began to push the fire northwest. While VIIRS typically collects several views of mid latitudes per day, the fire burned so quickly that we only get three snapshots as the fire burned. A live feed of the data is available through ArcGIS Living Atlas here. NASA’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Active Fire layer provides a near real-time view of thermal hot spots at a 375m resolution. In this map you can see how the fire was blown almost straight down the valley by the wind. The surrounding mountains are green indicating forested areas. Interstate 5 can be seen as a straight red stripe up the east side of the fire. Moving up the map we can see Talent and Phoenix impacted by the fire with the large urban area of Medford just north of the fire perimeter outlined in red. ![]() The USA Land Cover layer shows developed areas in pink to red shades with Ashland in the foreground. In this map I used the Living Atlas layer USA Current Wildfires for the fire’s origin and perimeter. Layers from ArcGIS Living Atlas work across the platform. For more information on using the data in Google Earth™, please see Using the National Flood Hazard Layer Web Map Service (WMS) in Google Earth™.Three-dimensional view of the Almeda Drive Fire looking to the northwest with the fire’s origin point near the bottom of the view. To do so, you will need GIS or mapping software that can read data in shapefile format.įEMA also offers a download of a KMZ (keyhole markup file zipped) file, which overlays the data in Google Earth™. This data can be used in most GIS applications to perform spatial analyses and for integration into custom maps and reports. Using the “Search All Products” on the MSC, you can download the NFHL data for a County or State in a GIS file format. You can also use the address search on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center (MSC) to view the NFHL data or download a FIRMette. For more information on available services, go to the NFHL GIS Services User Guide. Technical GIS users can also utilize a series of dedicated GIS web services that allow the NFHL database to be incorporated into websites and GIS applications. In the NFHL Viewer, you can use the address search or map navigation to locate an area of interest and the NFHL Print Tool to download and print a full Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or FIRMette (a smaller, printable version of a FIRM) where modernized data exists. Or you you may view, download, and print current local digital effective flood hazard data in an ArcGIS map. ![]()
